Hello all! I recently bought a new laptop which came with the rtw89_8852be.
I installed fedora workstation 41 and for the first few days everything worked fine. However today WiFi suddenly disconnected. By checking a few things I found out that the network interface was down and that I could not set it up again.
The first reboot did not work but the second one did. However a few hours later the problem started again.
When checking with journalctl -k I found a lot of lines with the same:

On one boot I found the following:

All this happened on kernel 6.11.8.
Right now I’m on 6.11.6 and so far is working but I don’t know if it will continue to work.
I tried some module configs that were mentioned on some post with similar problems:
lau@laufedorahp:~$ cat /usr/lib/modprobe.d/70-rtw89.conf
options rtw89_pci disable_clkreq=y disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y
options rtw89pci disable_clkreq=y disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y
However the didn’t seem to fix the problem.
Does anybody know what the problem may be? I like this laptop, but this problem is making me nervous about the buy.
Thank you!
